From it, I got the inspiration to do a similar post, this time an assemblage of areas Christian bloggers can draw topics from. These have been presented as ideas, not topics. As a result, each number below can yield a wide range of topics. I’ve tried to suggest some of such topics for each idea but that is just like scratching the surface. Some bloggers have built their niche against just one of these ideas and still have a lot to share after going at it for many years.

It goes without saying that this list is far from exhaustive. And while the list may be helpful for stimulating our thoughts, I would not advise arbitrarily picking from it or anywhere else to write if we actually hope to speak on God’s behalf. We need to pray and be led by the Holy Spirit in our writing, both in choosing a topic and fleshing it out. When we do that, God is able to use our writing to meet the needs of our readers in amazing ways. Then we can say, “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.” – Psalm 118:23 (KJV)

3. Testimonies: stories of God’s intervention resulting in conversion, healing, provision, etc.4. Christian character: living out the fruit of the Spirit, ten commandments, etc.5. Christian apologetics: defending the faith, answering the skeptics, distinguishing Christianity from other religions6. The Bible: x-raying different parts of the bible, providing exegeses for different portions, esp hard to understand passages7.

10. Doctrinal issues: x-raying the controversies and offering Scriptural support for positions on baptism, sanctification, speaking in tongues, tithing, etc. Expositions on wrong doctrines are sorely needed in these times11. Parenting: motherhood, fatherhood, adoption, foster parenting, home schooling, etc. providing the how-tos, challenges and solutions to them … , issues to do with one’s children be they babies, toddlers, adolescents or adults12. Relationships: romantic relationships outside marriage, mentoring, relationships between siblings, friends, colleagues, etc.13. Marriage: joys, trials, lessons from it, how to make it work, how to make it thrilling, etc.

I love number 2. The Bible sites many examples by giving us different stories of those who lived righteously and those who didn’t. From that, we tend not to forget what we learned since there is a person attached to it. Thanks for these tips.

Glory to God! I am fascinated by human interest stories from the Bible too. When we study them under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it's amazing the things we learn. More grace to you, dear sis, in Jesus' name.

Wow these are nice and lovely ideas. it's a wonderful idea too to always ask God for guidance when choosing a topic idea so that God can use our hands to speak life into the people through our writings

All these ideas are actually thought stimulating as you mentioned earlier. After going through the list, am greatly inspired to write on a variety of Christian topics... I know that great innovations come through the help of GOD, and with this great article, it shows you are greatly inspired by HIM(GOD)... Thank you Ma for this.

I love the one of encouraging Christians and the one of quotes, but most especially, the one of encouraging Christians because most times Christians face a lot of difficult trials and it seems like there is no way out. We need to be encouraged in the spirit, building up our hope and faith in God. Christianity isn't a bed of roses, it requires a great work. And we need all the encouragement we can get from God's word(bible).Thank you aunt Edith for this wonderful post.

This is really very helpful! I remember someone telling me she didn't know what to blog about. She had exhausted what she planned posting. Such a person would definitely find this helpful. This post just nailed it... God bless you ma.
